Submarine MSs Make Holiday Gingerbread House
The replica stands about two feet high and three feet wide. The gingerbread walls are extra thick for maximum support. The windows are made of homemade transparent candy, and the chimney bricks are bite-sized licorice. The roof is frosted mini-wheats, and the balcony is framed with white chocolate-coated pretzels. Extra-sticky frosting holds the entire structure together.

andy sent me links to his first two bylines today. let history reflect that my son's very first assignment as a navy journalist was to report on the building of a gingerbread house.

i'm not sure about the first story, but andy did mention when he sent me the link to the second story [ USS Hampton Returns Home for the Holidays] that not only did they get his name and rank wrong, they butchered his story.

that should be seaman recruit Andy B. Zask, after today, seaman apprentice. i guess that "commander" i see after his byline does not reference him though that was how i read it. so even though they butchered his story, he did get "top story" status his second time out, and that seems pretty cool to me.

his mother you know. i am his mother. yeah, that's my son!
